Cat · Treat All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

A hydrating, lickable treat for cats featuring chicken bone broth, chicken, and tuna as the main animal ingredients. This smooth puree is designed for supplemental feeding, adding extra moisture and flavor on top of a complete diet. It also provides a small amount of omega-3s from marine microalgae oil, which can support skin and coat health.

KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a high-moisture, meat-forward lickable treat that can work very nicely as an occasional reward, bonding aid, or kibble topper for most healthy cats. The use of chicken bone broth, chicken, and tuna provides palatable animal protein, and the added marine algae oil contributes omega-3 fats. It’s not a complete diet, so it should be used alongside a balanced cat food and kept within the recommended treat calorie limit.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken bone broth, chicken, and tuna provide multiple named animal protein sources and good palatability for most cats.
  • Very high moisture content (about 90%), which can help increase overall water intake for cats that tend to be low drinkers.
  • Includes marine microalgae oil as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can support skin and coat health.
  • Low calorie per pouch, making it easier to fit into a normal diet as a small, occasional treat or topper.

Considerations

  • Formulated for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it must be fed in addition to a complete and balanced cat food, not as the main diet.
  • Contains chicken and tuna, which are common food allergens for some cats; not ideal if your cat has known sensitivities to these proteins.
  • Very low fat content, which is fine for a treat but means it does not provide the energy density needed for a primary diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken Bone Broth
Chicken bone broth is commonly used as a palatability enhancer and hydration topper in dog and cat diets, supplying gelatin, collagen-derived amino acids and trace minerals that may support joint comfort and gut health while making food more appealing. It is not a complete food, so choose low-sodium, additive-free products (avoid broths containing onion, garlic or excessive fat), and ensure no bone fragments are present—use caution with pets that have pancreatitis, sodium-sensitive conditions, or known food sensitivities.
02
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

03
Tuna
Tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing readily digestible protein and omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) along with B vitamins for both dogs and cats. While nutritionally beneficial, tuna can be high in mercury or sodium (especially canned), and feeding it exclusively or frequently may cause nutrient imbalances (including risks for thiamine or taurine issues in cats), so it should be offered in moderation as part of a complete, balanced diet.

04
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.
View ingredient
05
Tapioca Starch
Tapioca starch is a purified carbohydrate used in pet foods mainly as a thickener, binder and easily digestible energy source, contributing virtually no protein, fat, vitamins or minerals. It is low‑allergy and gluten‑free, but because it is a high‑glycemic, low‑nutrient filler it should be limited in diets for overweight or diabetic pets and not relied on for essential nutrition.
